Felton Institute Reviews

Felton is extremely mismanaged in almost every program across the board. They pay terribly and do not provide the support nor the trainings they promise. Anybody who tries to speak up against their unfair practices is fired or forced out. They take people who are really passionate about the work they do and the clients they serve and exploit this care and passion to get keep every last cent of the money they receive circulating for the few at the top of the company. This means the actual services they provide are continually suffering, subpar, understaffed, and under-resourced. Essentially, they are a fraudulent organization. It's quite sad.

• Toxic leadership driven by the CEO’s personality and enabled/perpetuated by agency’s Officers and Leadership. • Cult of personality driven (in rhetoric) by a need to “achieve the mission”- often at the expense of the health and well-being of the people doing the work • Culture of ‘racing to the bottom’ - performing peak quality work with as little resources as possible - derailing the safety and well being of staff. • Competitive and hostile workplace, with people reacting to resource scarcity with fear, antagonism, and abuse. • Leadership lacks the skills capacity and emotional intelligence to set a healthy tone. • Communication is siloed, lies are ramped, and HIGHLY inappropriate and abusive behavior is tolerated out of a fear. • Staff suffer for years in a disordered work environment out of fear, before burning out and leaving abruptly - negatively impacting continuity of care, and client health outcomes. • HR does not understand the value of retaining staff with healthy attitudes about work.
